What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung adenocarcinoma — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20871597)
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lung adenocarcinoma. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20871597)
C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung adenocarcinoma compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20871597)

Questions about rs2736100

What is rs2736100?

rs2736100 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TERT gene. Published research associates it with lung adenocarcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs2736100?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include fertility (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2736100 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2736100 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20871597. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
